From 22 hectares of vineyards has grown to 120 hectares. The dynamic Federico Carletti, who took the helm of the farm in 1981. and currently runs a winery, combining tradition and modernity. After completing his wine studies in Piedmont, he did internships at various wineries and applied the experience gained to Poliziano. The name of the farm, Poliziano, is a tribute to the humanist poet Angelo Ambrogini, who was born in Montepulciano and was called Poliziano. All Polysiano wines reflect a long history. Born in the 80s, they retained the original labels. The wines are mainly made from Sangiovese grapes, best known in the area.
